Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The compounds that would have same physical properties; which are trans isomers and those compounds that do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Structural isomerism occurs when two compounds have same number of atoms but the spatial arrangement of the atoms is different from each other. These isomers have the same formula but their properties are different. In cis-isomers, the substituents of the double bonded carbons are on the same side of the double bond but in trans isomer, they are on opposite side of double bond.
To determine: The compounds that have same physical properties.
(b)
Interpretation: The compounds that would have same physical properties; which are trans isomers and those compounds that do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.

- What is meant by the term “unsaturated hydrocarbon”? What structural feature characterizes unsaturated hydrocarbons?arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.

- Draw the structures of the following compound : 3-methylpentane. 3-phenylpentane. 2,3-dimethylhexane 2-ethyl-2-methylpentane.arrow_forwardGive the chemical names of the corresponding structures for compounds A and B.arrow_forwardAlkenes and alkynes react similarly to each other. Hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydration reactions are all types of addition reactions in which the reagent adds across the multiple bond of the reactant • Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum, palladium, or nickel. • Halogenation involves a reaction with a halogen such as Cl₂ or Br₂ to produce a dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene product. Hydration reactions take place when alkenes or alkynes react with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to yield an alcohol. ▼ Part A Predict the product of the reaction of 1-butene with bromine.

Which product is composed of alkanes that contain a larger number of carbon atoms? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardQ1: Draw all of the structural isomers possible for the alkane with the molecular formula CeH14, and write the naming of all compounds.arrow_forwarda.

- Write structural formulas for all organic compounds. State the type of reaction. Complete and balance the reaction. Name the products. Section 1. propene + hydrogen ? 2. cyclohexane + chlorine ? 3. benzene + iodine ?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false? a. Molecules with the formulas CH3CH2COOH and C3H6O2 could be structural isomers. b. Molecules must have a double bond to be cis-trans isomers. c. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least three different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon. d. To be enantiomers, a molecule must have at least four different atoms or groups connected to a central carbon.arrow_forwardA. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes, continued. Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H₁4. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
